Hey Jim sorry just updated my profile. I’ve got an IC40.

Thanks AJ. Seems I’m on the right path then. Appreciate it.

Hey everyone, Water temps have been dropping here in SoCal and my pool has been 55ish for a few weeks now. I lowered my SWG to 35% and am running the pump for 8 hours per day and am still getting higher than expected FC readings. Today’s was 18 so I’ve dropped the SWG to 25% and will test...

Well I finally got the replacement motor in yesterday and reassembled everything this morning. Pump seems to be operating fine and it feels quieter than the last motor so perhaps it was indeed a problem with the first motor. Will continue to monitor it to make sure all is ok, but for now it...

So I took the pump apart this morning and I couldn't find anything impeding the impeller, no debris, nothing stuck, nothing to indicate that something prevented it from spinning. I've to a warranty replacement on the way and prior to putting everything back together I plan on flushing the main...

Thanks Mark, I'll take a look when I start pulling everything apart again. When I disassembled the pump the first time, I found the motor spun without issue and that there wasn't anything blocking the impeller, which was what I thought might be going on. When I replaced the impeller and the...

Well it appears the pump motor is burnt out. All I get is humming when I try to start it up at its high speed setting. From the way the problem arose, I'm inclined to consider this as a bad motor given that: It worked fine for 2 months without any problems I've replaced the impeller and...

Thanks for the comments so far. The wiring is correct, just triple checked it.

Having checked out the video on cavitation, I wonder if this could be the issue. If so, how would I go about testing the theory? High speed is fine, low speed rattles, overheats, and trips the breaker. Thanks.

So a few months ago I replaced the original 2.5 Hp motor on my Sat-rite Max-e-pro filter pump with a new two speed motor. Everything seemed to have gone well, the pump was working in both speeds, no issues. Recently I returned to find that the breaker had tripped on the filter pump circuit...

Just wanted to provide an update on the motor replacement. Was able to work on it this morning and all went off without a hitch. Installed the 2-speed relay into the EasyTouch control box. Ran two new wires to the pump since the existing two wire run (not counting ground) used same colored...

I hadn't really thought about it. The setup seems to work well as is and with the EasyTouch controller it's all scheduled out and pretty easy to control so I don't really have much in the way of issues, other than the soon-to-fail-forever filter pump motor. While I consider myself handy enough...

Thank you both, this is very helpful. I think the wiring diagram from kadavis should get me there. Jim thanks for the thoughts on VS versus dualie. My setup (I'll work on an improved signature) includes another two pumps, one for the cleaner and one for the weeping wall. I think the dual...

Hello all, My filter pump motor has been making increasing noises and trips my breaker periodically. The pool was built in 2010 and the builder used a Sta-rite P6E6G-208L pump for the filter pump which also runs the spa-jets when in spa mode. It's got a 2-HP motor (true HP 2.6) and it's a...
